Our 2nd-First Date
Lee and I went on our first date on March 22, 2005. It was a nice but awkward date. Lee wanted to hold my hand, and I thought he was moving way too fast. Nearly 5 years later (wow, have we been together that long?), we went on our second first date.
This weekend, thanks to Lee's parents, we finally got out of the house for a date night! We went out to eat and came home. Not much to brag about, but it was wonderful. My husband was looking all sorts of fine, and I wore pants without an elastic waistband for the first time since September. I felt...well...normal.
We were able to have a great conversation about how parenthood is affecting us, and we discussed the importance of being intentional about our marriage even when patience and energy are running low.
I love having those kind of conversations. And I love that my husband keeps seeking ways to strengthen our marriage.
As for Kara, she had a great time with the grandparents, and we were home in time to read her a bedtime story before she went to sleep.
